Ăber dieses Buch
World premiere of a new version of Euripides' classic Medea. Plays in London as part of the Almeida's Greek Season. Medea's marriage is breaking up. And so is everything else. Testing the limits of revenge and liberty, Euripides' seminal play cuts to the heart of gender politics and asks what it means to be a woman and a wife. One of world drama's most infamous characters is brought to controversial new life by Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold (The Merchant of Venice, King Charles III, American Psycho) and award-winning writer Rachel Cusk (Outline, Aftermath).

SCENE 1
NURSE
She says sheâs not hungry.
Pause.
Thatâs a lovely piece of chicken sheâs let go to waste. Itâs grilled you know, not fried. Sheâs very particular about that. But this was grilled â no fat on it at all.
Itâs from the butcherâs â it isnât supermarket meat. I know sheâs particular about that. I went all the way up to the butcherâs for it on Market Hill.
I hate to see decent food go to waste. You should have seen some of the things I was expected to eat as a child. Vegetables all covered in black spots! The thing was, you had to eat them â in those days you had no choice.
MEDEA can be heard crying.
Iâve told her, crying wonât bring him back. Besides, itâs very ageing. But you canât reason with her â you never could. Itâs like trying to reason with a rock. The trouble is, sheâs got no self-control.
Pause.
Such a waste! I wouldnât eat my dinner once, and my father picked it up and crammed it in my mouth. No, she doesnât get her way by crying. I said to her, youâre not a child any more. Youâre a grown woman with two children of your own â whatever will people think? I said to her, pull yourself together for their sake!
TUTOR
My mother said children ruin your life.
NURSE
I said to her, all that feminism you went in for! You always gave the impression you could manage just as well without him, and now look at you â sobbing like a schoolgirl with a broken heart! Equal this and equal that â I said to her, the trouble was you let him think he could do as he pleased. Frankly I never saw what was âfeminineâ about it. Itâs just another word for girls keeping dirty habits.
TUTOR
My mother said itâs men that are the dirty ones.
NURSE
I said to her, thereâs a reason men and women have always lived as they do â because itâs in their interests to live that way. But you thought you could do things differently, I said. You used to laugh at me, I said, but whoâs laughing now? I said to her, you canât just come back saying it was all a mistake. Youâve made your bed, I said.
TUTOR
My mother called it disgusting, what my father did to her in in bed.
NURSE
Thereâs no point wishing things had been different â you canât turn back time! Particularly when there are children: thereâs no denying them. I said to her, if you havenât learned by now that as a mother you come last, then youâre in for a bumpy ride.
TUTOR
She said when I was born I broke her insides.
NURSE
I said to her, I could have told you but you wouldnât have listened. She never did listen to me. The trouble was you spoiled her. You couldnât keep your hands off her.
TUTOR
Iâm a dirty pig.
NURSE
Itâs no wonder she feels sorry for herself. You let her think she was important.
MEDEA appears and sits on TUTORâs lap.
People like us never considered divorce, you know. We never took ourselves that seriously.
MEDEA
Why not?
NURSE
Children donât need to hear about their parentsâ dirt. You ought to tidy yourself up, put some mak...
